19SAMUEL GILKS, 1815
20Three-quarter size cellos by the old makers are becoming exceedingly rare. Comparatively few were made, and modern demand for them has increased enormously.
22*Number 5010. This is a splendid little instrument, made in the middle part of the 18th century. It has a very large, beautiful, brilliant tone, and will be an ideal instrument for any young player between 12 and 16 years of age. Small size old cellos purchased of us may be exchanged at any time, and full price will be allowed, on a full size old instrument, when desired. Thus, a small instrument is an economy, as well as affording great satisfaction.
23Price: $250
